Dinosaurs, it's time to evolve!

The Climate Institute, along with welfare, union and environment has launched a national campaign calling on "dinosaurs" in politics and business to stop blocking urgent climate action in Australia.

Some dinosaurs in Australian politics and business are blocking climate action that will grow the hundreds of thousands of clean energy jobs we need now more than ever.

In a world turning to clean energy and technology, Australian industries are in danger of being left behind.

Urgent policies are needed to unlock billions of dollars of investment and deliver a just, fair and decisive transition to a clean energy economy.

It’s time for these dinosaurs to evolve and support strong action on climate change.

The multi-media and grassroots campaign is backed by The Climate Institute, ACTU, Australian Council Of Social Service, Australian Conservation Foundation and WWF.

The campaign also links to a newly created website www.cleanenergyjobs.com.au built in partnership with GetUp, and provides facts, research and case studies on clean energy jobs.

The multimedia and grassroots campaign launched in Canberra on will include regional tours and information sessions, will extend until the international climate change negotiations in Copenhagen in December and beyond.
